The Lok Insaf Party on Friday announced to break its alliance with the Aam Aadmi Party in Punjab in the wake of Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s apology to a SAD leader for accusing him of being involved in the drug trade.
Kejriwal tendered the apology to former minister Bikram Singh Majithia yesterday (Thursday) for levelling charges of involvement in drugs trade against the former minister.
“We have announced to break our alliance with the AAP. We cannot be associated with a party whose main leader meekly surrendered by tendering apology to former minister Bikram Singh Majithia,” LIP leader and MLA Simarjit Singh Bains said here today.Bains also called Kejriwal a “traitor”, alleging that he “betrayed” Punjabis by tendering an apology.“He is a fraudster. He accepted funds from Punjabis and also promised to punish Majithia. And now he tendered an apology which is a biggest fraud with Punjabis. Therefore we ended alliance with AAP,” he said.
However, he said he will continue to support “at personal level” 14-15 AAP MLAs out of 20 who are working in the interest of Punjab.
